    Clan (Indigenous Peoples in Canada)

    Clan has been used to designate social groups whose members trace descent from either male or female ancestors. For the Indigenous people in Canada, the term has been used most often to designate groups based on unilineal descent. This means that a person belongs to the clan of either parent.

    Clark and NDP Win in BC

    Well, perhaps. In fact, the contrasts displayed on election night last week in British Columbia were, for the most part, more apparent than real - as was Clark's claim to be leading the province of 3.8 million down a radically new road.This article was originally published in Maclean's Magazine on June 10, 1996

    Clark Quits

    In the spring of 1996, Glen CLARK was British Columbia's golden boy, a 38-year-old street-smart politician from Vancouver's scrappy east end who led the New Democratic Party to a stunning victory.

    Climate

    Climate is often defined as average weather, when weather means the current state of the atmosphere. For scientists, climates are the result of exchanges of heat and moisture at the Earth's surface. Because of its size, Canada has many different climates. For example, there are drastic differences in day length from south to north: in December, southern Canada receives eight hours of daylight, while northern regions receive none. An area’s position on the continent, especially its distance from oceans, also affects climate. In Canada, this explains why a coastal city in British Columbia, such as Victoria, has a warmer climate than an interior city such as Winnipeg, Manitoba.

    Climate Change

    Climate change occurs when long-term weather patterns begin to shift. These periods of change have occurred throughout the Earth’s history over extended periods of time. However, since the Industrial Revolution the world has been warming at an unprecedented rate. Because of this, the current period of climate change is often referred to as “global warming.” Human activities that release heat-trapping greenhouse gases, such as the burning of fossil fuels, are largely responsible for this increased rate of change. The implications of this global increase in temperature are potentially disastrous and include extreme weather events, rising sea levels and loss of habitat for plants, animals and humans. In Canada, efforts to mitigate climate change include phasing-out coal-fired power plants in Ontario and instituting a carbon tax in British Columbia. This article is a full-length entry about climate change. For a plain-language summary, please see Climate Change (Plain-Language Summary).
